BETHANY (mod. el-'Azariyeh)

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 828 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BER-BLA
BETHANY (mod. el-'Azariyeh) , a
village
  nearly 2 M. E.S.E. from Jerusalem, on the eastern slope of the
Mount
  of Olives, 2208 ft. above the sea. It is interesting as the residence of Lazarus and his sisters, and a favourite
retreat
  of Jesus (see especially John xi., which describes the miracle of the resurrection of Lazarus at this place). From the 4th
century
  down to the time of the
Mahommedan
  invasion several ecclesiastical buildings were erected on the spot, but of these no distinct traces remain. El-'Azariyeh is a poor
village
  of about thirty families, with few marks of antiquity; there is no reason to believe that the houses of
Mary
  and Martha and of Simon the Leper, or the sepulchre of Lazarus, still shown by the monks, have any claim to the
BETHESDA
names they
bear
 . Another Bethany (with the alternative`
reading
  Bethabara) is mentioned in John i. 28, as " beyond Jordan "; it has not been identified.
